Gladelig Jul, Nadolig Llawen a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda, Hyvaa joulua, Joyeux Noel, Mele Kalikimaka, Froehliche Weihnachten, Kala Christouyenna, Nollaig Chridheil agus Bliadhna Mhath Ur....So many ways to say one thing........MERRY CHRISTMAS! With 31 days to go the and the frenzies begin try to keep in mind the ones who do not have anything and do something for someone. it might help their spirit of Christmas along it does not have to be much. I find myself lately seeing something or reading something and just breaking and the tears just roll I am not sure why they just do. I want so much for people to see God this season and to get to know Him and know He is why we have Christmas. All of the main symbols point to Jesus Himself as Christmas.
The evergreen tree~ Because it is green year round, it represents hope. It's needles and the narrow top point upward, making us think of Heaven. Because we cut the tree down and put it back up in our homes or where ever we put them it is a symbol of the Resurrection of Jesus.
Candles and Christmas lights~ They represent Jesus the light of the world. Then Jesus spoke to them saying "I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." John 8;12
Candles and lights add to the festiveness but remember you can be a light and not just for a season but everyday.
The Candy Cane~ The shepherds crook is represented by the sweet yumminess of the candy cane. It reminds us that Jesus is the good shepherd and He came into our world and we have Christmas because of Him. The red stripes are Jesus's sacrifice and the the white is His purity.
No matter how you see it Christ is all over Christmas these are just a few there are more. Just please this year keep Christ in your Christmas light up your tree, be a light to someone who has no hope, tell someone about the Good Shepherd and give someone a candy cane. No matter the language Danish, Celtic, Finnish, French, Hawaiian, German, Greek or Scottish it all says the same thing Merry Christmas!!!!!
That's my thought for the day,
Crazy for Christmas
